From bhakta Abzal Toktarbaev – Kazakhstan, Aktobe

Dear Srila Gurudev,
Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your Lotus feet. All glory to Srila Prabhupada, all glory to you!
Let me congratulate you on the day of your appearance and thank you for your support, love and care for all fallen souls. I wish you good health and strength.
Your books and the books of Srila Prabhupada have helped me to find my true purpose in life: to serve Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, Srila Prabhupada and your Lotus feet.
Thank you for being enthusiastic and infecting all of us in the service of Lord Krishna, regardless of your age. Thank you for everything you do for us. You are very inspiring with your great message around the world. Your festivals, trips that you made in your youth and now, your diaries, kirtans and lectures. You are a great example of how to serve your spiritual master; you are the greatest servant of the mission of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Where You are, there are always powerful lectures and explosive kirtans. And this place becomes Vaikuntha. Where you are, there is the spiritual world.
You are a boundless ocean of mercy, that has been spilled on all the fallen souls of this world. And every time I listen to your lectures I discover something new. And my heart as well as the hearts of many others, who were lucky enough to hear you melt more and more each time. Because you convey such an exalted philosophy is very simple, so that it becomes clear even to poorly educated people.
I pay my respects to all your disciples, who are the sparkling dust of your lotus feet. They infect me with service. I am grateful to you for such friends.
Thank you for once finding me. Let me always be an instrument in your hands and the hands of Lord Krishna.
Please, shed on me the light of your gratuitous mercy and dispel the darkness of ignorance.
Trying to be your servant, bhakta Abzal
